Overview
Form 15CA and Form 15CB are required in India when making certain types of payments to non-residents, such as technical services fees, royalty payments, rent, and consultancy fees, among others. Filing Form 15CA and obtaining Form 15CB ensures compliance with the tax laws in India and helps avoid penalties and fines for non-compliance.
Form 15CA is a declaration form that is required to be submitted by a person responsible for making a payment to a non-resident or a foreign company, if the payment exceeds a specified limit. The form contains details of the payment and the PAN of the recipient.
Form 15CB, on the other hand, is a certificate issued by a Chartered Accountant (CA) certifying that the payment being made to a non-resident or a foreign company is not chargeable to tax in India. The form contains details of the recipient, the payment, and the calculation of the tax liability, if any.
